Where are the iPhone jailbreaks didn’t see anything since a long time.. what’s happening? Did I miss them or isn’t anything available? I mean props to Apple however they do it but is it a matter of time in regard to the current timeline or what is actually going on?

Apple's security posture with lockdown mode, memory tagging, and secure allocators is significantly better than Android. You can read some about it here: https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement...

Exploits that can survive reboots are almost impossible these days. And a jailbreak enabling exploit now requires a whole chain of exploits which are worth significant money and also get patched as soon as they become public.

So something like the old iphone jailbreaking scene is just impossible now.
